Self-Care Tips from Tracy of T-Curate

January 06, 2019

By sharing these tips from women we admire from around the world, we hope you too will take the time you need to unwind & slowdown whenever you feel that you need it.

Tracy lives a busy life in Manhattan managing her own marketing agency as well as her lifestyle blog T-Curate. We caught up with her to see what she does to unwind and slowdown despite her busy & hectic schedule. Read on below for Tracy's tips:

"As work got busier and busier, I realized that I was not functioning at my best because there was always so much going on. That’s when I started to reserve 30 minutes every morning for a self-care ritual and to set my intentions for the day right.

1. I wake up 30 minutes earlier than I need to so I don’t feel rushed in the morning. Having a new puppy at home definitely made this step easier. He is my very own living alarm clock.

2. I read. I’m currently reading the third book of the trilogy of Crazy Rich Asians - Rich People Problems. It’s such a guilty pleasure read. However, I’ve found that if I read in the morning instead of immediately checking my phone, my mind is a lot calmer throughout the day.

3. I listen to podcast while in shower. Below are some podcasts I like:

Gastropod: This is a slightly longer podcast, so I sometimes listen to in while taking a bath at night or before I sleep. It examines at food through the lens of science and history.

4. Last but not least, I take a monthly getaway to Upstate New York or a close-by destination that is reachable by car. I stay at an Airbnb in the woods with my husband and enjoy what the town has to offer. I will be writing more about my Airbnb stays, stay tuned! In the meantime, see some of my recent trips here, here, and here."
